Happy Friday! It’s the end of the week again and we’re winding down for a truly relaxing weekend here. Somehow between Saturday errands, a trip to the apple orchard down in Northfield, hosting brunch and catching up on yard work, last weekend left me feeling like I needed a weekend after my weekend.
We had another full week including someone’s first birthday 🙂 in addition to our usual schedule. I also had to drag–literally, for one child–my older kids to the dentist this morning so seriously, TGIF today!
Weekending lately: I shared this on Instagram, but we headed to Fireside Orchard down in Northfield last weekend for some fun with my dad and brother. We didn’t pick any apples but bought a bunch and some cider. They have a fun setup outside their barn/shop with lawn games, a covered sitting area, and a bouncy castle. The olders had a great time jumping and the grownups enjoyed a chat in the sunshine!
Reading lately: Introverted Mom: Your Guide to More Calm, Less Guilt and Quiet Joy. It’s a lovely little book and I’m going to write more about it on here soon.
Excitement lately: Our living room rug from Ruggable arrived yesterday and I am so excited to get that room completed. I am SO indecisive when it comes to furnishing our space… yes, it’s actually taken me six months to pick a living room rug. Anyways, we have one now and it’s washable!
Skincare lately: I switched from a powder foundation to a tinted moisturizer and I am loving the difference. I’m kind of a BareMinerals purist at this point, simply because they actually carry a shade that matches my skin tone! The moisturizer is light and glowy and really all I need (plus mascara) on a daily basis.
Random thought of the week: How often are you supposed to change your pajamas? I saw a short video on Facebook of someone grossed out that people didn’t change their PJs every night. The Internet says anywhere from 3-7 days, but also that some women don’t change them for 2 weeks! What are your thoughts?
Weekend plans: Errands, home improvement, relaxation. Eric and I are both going to get out and take a little alone time, and I think I’m going to head to the library and read alone in the lounge there. Bliss!
Happy Friday, friends!
